Heroes of the Low End pt. 17: Glenn Miller

Glenn Miller: Basso Profundo, Grammy winner, Not the Trombonist/Jazz Composer, Capable of shaking the ground with the power of his voice alone.

Growing up singing in choir, Glenn was relegated to support roles, unable to sing leads because his voice was simply too manly for the leads.

As he grew up and more people discovered the power of his voice, he quickly became an in demand Basso Profundo. His absolutely ridiculous range allowed him to sing notes most mere mortals can only dream of. In his 2015 Grammy winning recording of a Russian Eastern Orthodox Church standard, Do not reject me in my old age, Glenn sang the super low Contra G!

Glenn Miller is a true badass with a voice worthy of the title Basso Profundo. What I would give to have a voice like that…
